The original Plus bike!

Unleashed onto an unsuspecting public 5 years ago – and as they say the rest is history!

For 2017 the Krampus has had a bit of a makeover. As “standards” have evolved, so too has the Krampus. Now featuring Gnot-Boost rear spacing, the Krampus can take whatever mountain bike hub you feel compelled to ride. 10 x 135mm QR, 12 x 142, or 12 x 148 Boost™ will all work. The geometry has had a few tweaks, it now has dropper routing and check out that Apple Red paintjob.

The Krampus frame is constructed using the same custom-designed, frame-specific, Surly CroMoly “’Natch” steel tubes. The main triangle’s tubes are internally butted with some tubes externally tapered, flared like a trumpet and ovalized to add stiffness and strength without adding weight. When you add in the 3” tires, it makes for a resilient and lively ride that’s durable and fun as hell.

Want to Bikepack? for 2017 the Krampus fork now has three pack bosses and rack mounts (!) making it a true do it all bike.
